KALAMAZOO — The latest beer dinner at Olde Peninsula Brewpub will feature a popular style for this time of year — porter.

O.P will serve its standard Porter, the Vanilla Porter and its Gingerbread Porter.

The downtown Kalamazoo microbrewery will also feature two guest beers from Left Hand Brewing Company, of Longmont, Colo. — the Fade to Black smoked porter, which won the gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2010, and Black Jack, its standard porter.

The meal will be a smoked cheese platter, black bean and capicola soup, beet and feta salad, lamb shanks on barley risotto with roasted carrots and a warm spice cake.
